If you are not a citizen of one of these countries or require more clarity on visa requirements, please refer to Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs website for the most up-to-date information. Conference visas can be applied for and we will issue invitation letters on request to registered attendees.


Travel from the airport


The Samuel Hotel is 13 km from the Dublin Airport (or 20 min drive, traffic dependent). A taxi ride will cost about €35. There are also buses and Uber rides. ICURN will not be involved in delegates' travel from the airport to their hotel.


Dublin Weather in July


Expect mild summer weather (temperatures ranging from 14 to 20°C (57 to 68°F)), with a mix of sunshine and rain, so pack lightweight clothing, a waterproof jacket, comfortable walking shoes, and sunglasses; essentially, be prepared for quick weather changes and occasional showers, even when it's sunny.
